Earth

This screen is a pseudo sphere-mapping which only uses the 68030 : the code was done 2 years ago and it’s a really crappy one. The Dsp is only used by the Replay routine. The sphere is about 200 pixels high and the screen is running in 2 Vbl.

After leaving Exo7, I worked alone on the Atari Falcon and signed these productions Gaston. Earth was not released at a party: on August 1st 1995, it was simply spread on the Internet, on the FTP servers that gathered everything about the demoscene at the time. Effect later put it on its Industrially Safe Demodisk #27, in June 1996 (see the ISD #37 article for this series).

The music is “Dentrotheme” by Domm of Animal Mine, played on the DSP by the replay routine of Nullos. I used the same tune again in 2016 for my WAB Contest #1 Screen 2.
